The European Commission said in its
recommendations for member States on Wednesday that Italy
respected the EU's debt rule last year, meaning infringement
proceedings will not be opened on this issue for now.
"In the case of Italy, the analysis suggests that the debt
criterion should be considered as currently complied with,
notably as Italy was found broadly compliant with the preventive
arm of the Pact in 2017," the Commission said.
European Commission Vice President said that "we have decided
not to open a debt procedure for Italy".
